In this case the Redskins rule will help Obama by getting dems to the poles. It looks like another Obama landslide. Romney replied “What day is the election again?”

I hope to God it applies in 2012 because that means the end of socialized medicine (Obamacare), the promotion of food stamps, and an increase in jobs and take home pay.

Correctamundo. If Romney is elected it will mean the end of an increase in jobs and the end of an increase in take home pay.

If the Redskin Rule favored Obama, it would have been touted by all the lame stream media, and all you’re doing is toeing the company line.

Now I am about to get off work in 30 minutes, vote for the incumbent and pray that my voting machine lets me do that unlike the machines in Pennsylvania who had people voting for the other guy when they picked another guy.

In other words, it’s a win either way.

Perhaps the Redskin nation feels good when they win about how things are going but bad when they lose so vote for change?

It can’t be explained but it has been consistent enough to not be ignored.

How different is it really from when media says things like “Reid never loses after a bye” etc. It doesn’t really mean anything prediction wise because “any given Sunday” any one team can beat another. Same goes for this fact.

If it’s so stupid, why are you acknowledging it by writing an article about it?

But I’ve decided that it’s worth addressing it, if only to say how ridiculous it is that anyone would give it any credence.
